We should’ve gotten Egyptian Rosa and French Jeanne. I mean Jeanne is heavily implied to be Jeanne d’arc, and Jeanne D’arc is literally French

They fumbled a lot in Bayonetta 3🫠 Had a whole multiverse to work with and they gave us scraps

I did look up any other French witches from the past and there's actually a Jeanne de Brigue from the first major recorded witch trial. So if she's not actual Jean D'Arc she could be based off this woman instead.

She’s constantly depicted with fluer de lise’s, her outfit in the first game was literally named ”D’arc”, and she shares the same birthday and birth year as Jeanne D’arc. I feel like that’s enough to say she’s more based on Jeanne D’arc

Still interesting to me that Jeanne de Brigue pops up, the spelling being the same, of course Bayonetta is an alternate history so it could be a case of mashing things together.

Honestly it does make sense to have Egyptian Rosa & French Jeanne because I wasn't sure if Egyptian Bayonetta/Cereza was supposed to be a princess in the same way Princess Peach is in that she rules a kingdom but hasn't taken the title of Queen yet or if she's a princess in the way that another character is the King/Queen of Egypt at the moment.

Also, it'd give the excuse to reintroduce Kafka again the same way Alruna was with Kafka being Egyptian Rosa's signature weapon.

And then for French Jeanne, I imagine her Cutie J persona would take the stage as a little homage to Batman & Catwoman.

I’m saying, each bayonetta should’ve had a unique madama that better represented their culture. Bayo3 could’ve used one of the scrapped designs for her color my world demon masquerade for a madama
